White Rock Property Market 2026: The Numbers

Cotality’s White Rock suburb report (4 November 2026) shows:

• Median house sale price: $665,000 over the past 12 months
• Lower quartile: $620,000
• Upper quartile: $748,000
• Supply: 76 houses listed for sale in the past 12 months, with 17 on the market now
• Ownership: Owners hold for an average of 9 years. Owner-occupation rose from 53.4% in 2016 to 58.5% in 2021.
• Families: The most common age group in White Rock is 0 to 9 years.

realestate.com.au (PropTrack) puts the White Rock median house price at $695,000 from 71 sales, up 16% over 12 months. Three-bedroom houses show a $658,000 median. Four-bedroom houses show a $750,000 median from 29 sales.

The two sources use different methods, so the figures differ. Both point the same way. White Rock houses now trade in the mid to high $600,000s, and four-bedroom homes sit higher again.

Comparable Properties Across Cairns Southside

I searched White Rock first, then Mount Sheridan, Bentley Park, Edmonton, Bayview Heights, Woree, Earlville and Gordonvale. The list focuses on established houses listed or sold between roughly $575,000 and $750,000, with priority on bigger blocks and family accommodation.

How to read price per square metre: It divides the asking or sale price by the land area. It is a simple land comparison, not a valuation. It ignores the house, condition and position.

Why 12 Lowanna Close Could Represent Outstanding Value

1. Land. At 1,431m², the block is 33% bigger than 60-62 Tiffany Street and 27% bigger than 11 Aruma Close.
2. Price. Buyers in the $600,000s. That’s the same bracket as standard 600m² to 850m² White Rock homes, yet 12 Lowanna gives you up to double the land and more bedrooms.
3. Bedrooms. Five bedrooms beats every active White Rock listing in this report. Most offer three.
4. Elevation and privacy. The home sits on a benched block above street level. Elevated land in Cairns brings breeze and separation from the street.
5. Room to make it yours. Bring your ideas and shape the home around your family. Every improvement you make sits on 1,431m² of White Rock land.
6. Owner-occupier appeal. Two living zones, two bathrooms and space for a caravan suit growing families and multi-generational living.
7. Outdoor space. A covered outdoor kitchen and a mature tropical garden. Few homes in this report offer both.
8. Established location. White Rock State School sits 1.34km away. Woree State High School sits 1.88km away. Trinity Anglican School is inside the suburb.
9. Overall value. 12 Lowanna offers nearly double the land of a standard White Rock home, plus five bedrooms. On land and accommodation, it shapes up as one of the most compelling value opportunities in Cairns Southside in the $600,000s.

Cairns Southside Buyer Demand

• Affordability. White Rock’s lower quartile sits at $620,000 (Cotality). That keeps it within reach of first-home buyers priced out of the northern beaches and inner suburbs.
• Family-sized blocks. Older Southside streets offer 700m² to 1,000m². Newer releases such as Flagstaff Way and Hershey Way sit closer to 550m² to 650m².
• Established neighbourhoods. Owners in White Rock stay an average of 9 years. Owner-occupation is rising.
• Schools and shopping. White Rock State School, Trinity Anglican School and Woree State High School sit close by. Mount Sheridan and Earlville shopping sit a short drive away. The Bruce Highway gives quick access to the CBD and Gordonvale.
• Land matters. New estates deliver new houses on smaller lots. Established White Rock delivers the land.

This report makes no forecast of future capital growth.

Jeff Rufino’s Local Market Perspective: Why Value Matters in White Rock

I’m Jeff Rufino. I sell homes across White Rock and Cairns Southside with Inspire Real Estate Cairns. I also founded the South Side Cairns community group, so I hear what locals talk about every day.

I invest here. I sell here. I get results.

Here’s what I see on the ground. Buyers walk through a renovated four-bedroom home on 600m² and love it. Then they look at the backyard and ask where the caravan goes. Where the kids kick a ball. Where the veggie patch lives.

That’s the gap 12 Lowanna Close fills.

Picture Christmas lunch in the outdoor kitchen. Kids running the length of the yard. Mangoes off your own tree. Coffee on the verandah while the breeze rolls up the hill. That’s the White Rock lifestyle this home has delivered for 24 years.

Look at what you get. Five bedrooms. Two bathrooms. 1,431m² on high ground in White Rock. Land like this rarely comes up in this suburb.

My advice? Compare it against the list above. Come to the open home and walk the block. Then make your best offer.
